Question

Explain the origin and history of towns

Answer 1

Hi my dear friend,

London revived by the 7th century (although the Saxon town was, at first, outside the walls of the old Roman town). Southampton was founded at the end of the 7th century. Hereford was founded in the 8th century. ... Some burhs were started from scratch but many were created out of the ruins of old Roman towns.

~Thank you
